Klickitat County is trying to generate interest for someone to develop an assisted living facility, most notably in the west end of the county.  There is no assisted living facility in Klickitat County, and County Commissioner David Sauter says that puts families in a difficult position.  Sauter says the hope is to entice a private sector party to build such a facility, similar to the Rock Cove facility in Skamania County.  He noted that’s actually owned by the Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation and has been successful.  The big obstacle is the high cost of property in the western end of Klickitat County.
